Simple and delish! A secret to making a lean steak tender and moist is kosher salt (any other salt won't do). Here's a link that describes how and why it works:

A few hours before I cooked the steak I sprinkle/rub a "generous" amount of kosher salt on the meat and let it sit until ready for the pan. I went ahead and cut the zucchini before cooking and also added onions with it. I chose basil as my herb, but found it over powering. I'll probably use rosemary next time since it compliments the steak well. The breadcrumbs became soggy, so I'll try crushed croutons next time. I also served a tiny bowl of warmed worcestershire sauce to add zip to the steak. This one's a keeper!
